Justin Sun discusses Bitcoin and stablecoins at Bitcoin Asia 2026

At the Bitcoin Asia 2026 event in Hong Kong, TRON founder Justin Sun participated in discussions regarding the evolution of Bitcoin and the shifting landscape of global digital finance. Sun noted that Bitcoin has transitioned from an experimental technology into an established global monetary asset and store of value. He suggested that the traditional four-year Bitcoin cycle may become less distinct as institutional flows, derivatives, and macroeconomic conditions exert more influence on the market.

Sun also addressed the relationship between Bitcoin and stablecoins, describing them as complementary tools where Bitcoin acts as a store of value and stablecoins facilitate payments and settlement. He highlighted that the TRON network currently holds more than $94 billion in USDT, driven by real-world usage. Additionally, Sun discussed technological shifts such as AI and quantum computing, noting TRON’s development of post-quantum signature technology on its Nile testnet to prepare for future security risks.
